Bugatti T101C Roadster Ghia
Chassis
#101506
The 1966 Exner Bugatti Roadster by Ghia was the result of three separate auto legends working together. Virgil M. Exner Sr. made his fame designing stunning show cars and the finned “Forward Look” Chrysler vehicles of the Fifties. Bugatti became legendary for its sports/racing cars of the Thirties. Ghia is the highly respected coachbuilder that over the years has produced many one-off show cars. Put the three together and you have what we call the 1966 Exner Bugatti T101C by Ghia.
Vehicle Overview
Only 6 chassis/engine combinations were built. The very last chassis, #101506, was given by Ghia to father and son Virgil Exner Sr. and Jr. in 1961 as payment for their design work on the Duesenberg Revival cars. At Ghia the Bugatti’s chassis was shortened 46cm and fitted with the bodywork designed by Virgil Exner Sr. Virgil Exner Jr. designed the interior. Ghia spent six months building the steel-bodied one-off. The car was presented to the public in Turin, 1965.
